Hi, I am working on the story the serial progression of the Tarot reveals as it is based upon the Hebrew alphabet symbolism, and etc. Can anyone recommend to me other authors who have tried to weave a progressive story out of the 22 trumps as a whole (rather than just dealing with individual key symbolism)?
I think they map a serial progression of initiation, where Key XXI is enlightenment, situated basically in Binah of the Tree of Life. Here is how I correlate them to the Tree:
O-III = Malkuth
IV-VI = Yesod
VII-VIII = Hod
IX = Netzach
X-XV = Tiphareth
XVI-XVIII = Geburah
XIX = Chesed
XX-XXI = Binah
A key symbolism is that The King as IV descends into the underworld of Yesod to establish a link to the divine light, which is Key V as The Hierophant.
